Protect Your Home This Christmas Break with These 3 Simple Tips

The holiday season is here, and it’s hard to believe it’s already Christmas! We at The Plumbing and Electrical Doctor want to take a moment to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Your support over the years has been invaluable, and we are truly grateful. 2018 has been an incredibly busy year for us, with many changes and improvements aimed at serving you better.

We're Here for You

During this Christmas period, we’ll be open every day and night, ready to assist with any plumbing or electrical emergency needs you may have.

Tips to Prevent an Emergency at Your Home or Business This Christmas

1. Isolate Your Water and Gas

If you’re going away, be sure to turn off your water and gas at the meter. This simple step can save you from potential floods or fires while you’re away.

2. Manage Your Automated Sprinkler System

If you have an automated sprinkler system that needs to run while you’re away and you can’t isolate the water, at least isolate all your fixtures at the appliance isolation taps. These small silver taps are located below basins, sinks, tubs, toilets, or where your washing machine hoses connect.

3. Unplug Electrical Appliances

Disconnect appliances at the power point if your house isn’t fitted with a surge diverter. This precaution will protect your appliances from power surges during storms.

Enjoy a Worry-Free Holiday

By isolating your water and gas and disconnecting your valuable appliances, you can enjoy your holiday without worrying about potential damage to your property. Remember, we are open all day, every day, throughout the Christmas and New Year period, so don’t hesitate to contact us in case of an emergency.

Have a wonderful Christmas and New Year from all of us at The Plumbing and Electrical Doctor. Above all, stay safe!
